Crossroads in French
That's what Sheena said it meant. :)
Anyway... an innocent grocery shopping trip turns out to be quite an interesting one. Sheena, Caryn and I participated in our first eating competition! We had to eat 2 donuts with chopsticks and the fastest to finish wins.
We thought all the other participants will be guys, well, not just men, but BIG BIG Hunky men. But we were so wrong... here's what I remember of the other 7 participants
1. The winner... she (yes, a SHE) was a young woman with a 4 years old (I think) child. Initially, I thought that was her younger sister but the kid called her "mama". So well, never ever assume.
2. Mr Tech... was a Malay guy who spoke surprisingly good English and Sheena discovered that he was really into technical stuff.
3. The aunty... well, typical chinese aunty. She should be in her 50s. The poor aunty looked as if she was cheated into participating. The look of horror on her face when she discovered that she had to finish the donuts as fast as possible.
4. The big guy... ah, this was the only typical looking participant in the contest! But no, he wasn't the winner. See? Looks can be decieving.
Oops, that's all I can remember. Sheena, if you are reading this, can you help me with the other 3 please?
Oh ya, when everyone has collected their prizes, one of the cleaners came along and asked about the prizes. When Sheena asked him why he did not participate...
Cleaner: Tak boleh lah... pakai baju ni... *points to uniform*

It's only doughnuts, not hotdogs or burgers and not as many as you can stuff in your mouth within a time limit. No need for BIG BIG Hunky men.
